Carol Sloane: My 10 Favorite Tracks

Yesterday, I posted my full 2009 interview with the late Carol Sloane, which Matt Schudel quote for in Washington Post obit. Today, I thought I'd provide 10 of my favorite recordings by Carol:

Here's Angel Eyes from After Hours, a demo tape recorded in 1959...

Here's Prelude to a Kiss from Out of the Blue, with arrangements by Bill Finegan, in 1961...

Here's Taking a Chance on Love from Carol Sloane Live at 30th Street in 1962...

Here's When Your Lover Has Gone, live with Ben Webster, from Carol & Ben, in 1963...

Here's Spring Is Here, with Carol's signature a cappella opener, in 1977...

Here's Never Never Land (taken a cappella) and My Ship, with the Jimmy Rowles Trio, in Hyannis, Mass., circa the late 1970s...

Here's Midnight Sun from Summertime, in 1983...

Here's It's Easy to Remember, live in 1990...
